Thanks gents. Took it out Friday for first ride and all seems good!

Thanks guys, received today. Looks like there may be a TBros header in the classifieds very soon... One O2 plug option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087RBYY29/

Can't you just bolt up an entire VTR front end? Uses same bearings I think? Oh look....

Nice Rob. That is a h3ll of a project. Looks like a whole new slab and foundation. Should make a nice workspace!

Airtech makes a set: https://www.airtech-streamlining.com/honda-fairings-seats-fenders-parts/VFR7501990-93.htm

I put the tire on already, I can weight both and start a new thread. With the Aussie convert kit it's just mechanical bolt on of bits, nothing too technical. This is a 6" Duc wheel, so a 190 tire. Contact Sebspeed here on the forum for the clear clutch cover.

I do...working on converting my 5th gen..

Don't know how I missed this site all these years, but he's got a bunch of great articles on maintenance and lots of gorgeous restorations he's done. Great V4 resource especially for the older bikes. http://v4dreams.com/index.html

Congrats, I didn't know they were still making them for sale anywhere. Ducati's recommended oil. With 4 bikes I'm sticking to the dino for the Hondas.

What do you think of a side mounted oil cooler? Could there be enough air flow? Or maybe a thermo controlled fan behind it?

This is a good read. Check out the mileage on his 1990 VFR. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php%3Fid%3D51135&ved=2ahUKEwjL7LiH-pHqAhVJFTQIHaC-DAkQFjABegQIBhAV&usg=AOvVaw3sQvPho3oybkg97oAbYSP3&cshid=1592710010318 I've done 120k miles on my '99 in all weather, I'd trust the 8th gen to do the same.

No, I'll post up once I work things out, haven't had much time lately. It looks pretty straightforward though.

I had never read this end-to-end but you inspired me, 3 or 4 hours later...was time well spent. SF and Duc, I don't think I realized the effort and time you had put in to this, thank you. I can't imagine how many hours you and all the other bike donors and contributors have put in the last couple of years. It's probably going to cost me more now that I'm considering a RB or PC with autotune, I currently have an older PC2. I don't have much to add that hasn't been covered already. There was a note from SF about centerstand bolts mounting from the center of the bike out on the RH side. I had done just that, to remove the c-stand if needed without dropping the header. I had a question on PC5 and the 5G patch but I see you've already got a whole thread addressing just that. Thanks again guys!

VFRD Header

I'll be running my underseat Wolf system with this header if all goes to plan.

Looks like the 8th gen rads and fan will just fit with the 8g header and 5g fairings, may need to keep the 5g oil cooler though.

Thanks. I was thinking of squeezing the 8th gens oil cooler in but I'm not sure there's going to be enough space, still need to place everything and figure out the hose and line routing.

Phil, How did you place an oil cooler? I can't find your old build thread.

Nice job guys all around. Test fit the 8th gen header to my 5th gen and it seems to line up well. The water and oil plumbing are going to need to be re-done with new rads but I expected that. The Wolf pipe looked lined up too.
